The must own audio book for parents with children, Hans Christian Andersen found magic in the landscape of childhood. His talking animals and living toys shine a sparkling light on the strange wisdom of innocence and the deceptive nature of adulthood. These stories have now been adapted into countless classic films (including The Little Mermaid, The Red Shoes, and Frozen - which was based on "The Snow Queen") and have become part of our everyday speech, such as when we talk about "ugly ducklings" and "the emperor's new clothes" and more. Every author has some peculiarity in his descriptions or in his style of writing.
These enchanting stories are wonderful for children, and collectors of fine art alike. Experience these classics again, and pick up this beautiful edition of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales.

      Judi Dench's delivery is extremely polished, and her British accent gives these stories a unique flavor. Dench reads a selection of the most popular Andersen tales: "The Ugly Duckling," "The Little Mermaid," "The Emperor's New Clothes," and so on. She has fun with the evil characters, best showcased in a memorable dialogue between the witch and the soldier in "The Tinderbox." D.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

      Listeners will be fascinated by these original stories from Hans Christian Andersen--no Disney adaptations here. They're richly voiced by F. Murray Abraham and enlivened by a cast of acclaimed narrators who add playful differentiation to the many characters. The tales range from the familiar "Thumbelina," "The Little Mermaid," and "The Princess and the Pea" to those less well known like "The Rags" and "Luck Can Be Found on a Stick." They're filled with surprises for those acquainted only with the sanitized versions, with many missing the happy endings we're used to hearing. Abraham's elegant narration and measured pacing provide the perfect foil to the more whimsical style of those portraying the characters in this engaging production. S.G.
